Chapter 92: Cleaning Up Trash

Cleaning Up Trash

Uek

I watched Roswyn hurriedly exit the room while covering her mouth as I stood up and fixed my confused expression.

Crazy.

I was already feeling somewhat perturbed due to Clanas abnormal reaction, but I was really about to lose my mind with Roswyn acting like this.

She previously rejected all my gifts and advances, yet now, she accepted all of it and even claimed she would take care of it.

Her face used to cramp up in disgust at least once every minute whenever I was in her vicinity. Yet now, she was trying to drunkenly seduce me.

She also came in contact with the flower cursed by Kania without any repercussions.

As usual, none of my plans ever go as intended

I was going to commit an evil deed and gift Clana with a flower imbued with a weak curse. It would have provided her with both the evidence and justification to break off our engagement within a years timespan.

But the plan was ruined when she noticed the curse.

Kania put her heart and soul into it and even I was unable to detect the dark mana emanating from the flower. So just how did Clana manage to sense it?

Not to mention, Roswyn was completely unaffected even after coming in direct contact with it.

The curse was supposed to activate the moment it was touched, so I wonder why?

Creak

I was in the middle of my thoughts when the door opened and Roswyn entered.

R-Roswyn Where did you go?

I sighed inwardly as I swiftly assumed a confused expression and muttered.

Since its already come to this, I can only try to manipulate this situation.

I noticed something when I went along with Roswyns plan and acted as if I was in heat from the aphrodisiac she had spiked my drink with. Unfortunately for her though, my high mental strength left me unaffected by the drug.

I also noticed the magic device on her body that was recording the events within the room.

I was also aware of the faint source of solar mana from the veranda behind the room.

Taking all these factors into consideration, this was likely a trap either Roswyn or Clana designed to falsely accuse me.

Therefore, even though my plans for today resulted in failure, I went along with their trap.

Uek

Roswyn?

Roswyn began stumbling around as I was deep in thought.

Are you alright?

Ah, yes Im fine.

When I inquired with a worried face, Roswyn struggled to reply with a smile.

Uh, then I should probably apologize for what happened just now

Heuguk!

..?

I tried to apologize with a hesitant look, but Roswyn suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I-Im sorry Frey. My condition suddenly worsened s-so Ill see you at another time.

I-I see. Ill see you later then.

Roswyn left the room in a hurry after explaining with a trembling voice.

Whew.

Unexpected situations like these have become commonplace, so I downed the drugged cocktail and called out with narrowed eyes.

Kania, was it you?

What are you talking about?

Kania peeked her head out from behind the wide open doorway that Roswyn didnt close on her way out.

Since when have you been there?

Since a while back.

Then, were you watching everything that unfolded in this room?

When I questioned her with a frown, Kania averted her gaze.

Kania Earlier, Roswyn grabbed the flower, but the curse didnt activate. Dont you think theres something wrong?

I think I may have made a mistake which caused the curse to fail. My apologies.

What if a curse had already been placed on her hand?

Kania replied with her head lowered when I continued to question her.

Now that I think about it, I remember Roswyn received a jolt of electric shock through her finger when she previously attempted to fix my collar

Kania averted her gaze even more so upon hearing my words.

Kania, just what did you do for Roswyn to run off like that?

When I questioned her after feeling she had done something, Kania replied with a low voice.

It wont kill her so please dont worry.

I felt chills down my spine when I heard Kania reply with a chilling frown.

Perhaps, if Kania hadnt discovered my true identity, every day might have been a living nightmare.

Young Master, I have something to report.

Yes?

Yes, its regarding Princess Clanas current condition.

While I was cowering in such thoughts, Kania retrieved her notepad and began explaining.

Apparently, her condition isnt looking good.

How so?

Psychologically.

I frowned upon hearing news of Clanas deteriorating mental state, but Kania wasnt finished.

They say in addition to becoming very listless, she also seems to be very anxious.

Clana is listless? I guess the suns rising from the west tomorrow.

Even the court physicians dont understand the reasons for it. Of course, the political foundation she painstakingly raised to increase her authority wont be so easily shaken. If her current condition persists however, I believe it may become detrimental to her current standing.

Hah.

I gazed into the distance before standing up with a sigh.

Where are you heading?

Im going to go visit the girls in the room next door. Theres something I have to do.

I made my way out the door, but Kania grabbed onto my arm with a stern expression.

Whats wrong?

Before you leave, please tell me about Roswyn.

Right now?

Yes, I dont know a single thing about her. Even some basic information will suffice, so please.

Seeing Kania twirl her fountain pen around while getting ready to jot notes down on her notepad, a sigh escaped my mouth before I began recounting.

Well, off the top of my head she always accepts profitable commissions. In addition, she despises the Imperial family due to her tendency to enjoy having an advantage over her adversaries. Thats about it.

Is that all the information that comes to mind?

She also has solar mana, though its weaker than Clanas.

After informing Kania of Roswyns characteristics, I frowned as I warned her.

So you have to be careful, alright Kania?

Please take care.

Kania bent her waist in a bow as she sent me off.

Shaaaa

I then headed towards the room where Lulu and the girls were staying. The entire time, I turned a blind eye to the absurd quantity of dark mana emanating from Kanias body.

.

.

.

.

.

What the, where did Lulu go?

When I asked the girls since I couldnt locate Lulu anywhere in the room, they began stuttering in fear.

S-She went to the restroom

She suddenly left with a pale face but I dont why.

Once my expression turned grave, all the girls began kneeling in front of me.

P-Please forgive us.

Were sorry, please forgive just this once.

I merely asked about Lulu and slightly creased my eyebrows, but the girls were all either shivering in fear, wrapping their arms around themselves or staring at me with dim eyes as if theyve given up on their lives.

Seeing their reactions, I came to the realization that these girls mustve been abused for the simplest and pettiest of reasons.Gt latest ovel chpters on nv(e)lbj/n(.)c/m

Whos the youngest here?

When I questioned them quietly while seating myself on a chair, a lone girl came forward as the other girls stared at her.

How old are you?

I dont know.

You dont know?

The room my owner gave me was dark so I dont know how many years have passed. Im sorry, Im so sorry.

I forgot my thoughts as I listened to her explain with a quivering voice.

.

The fact that there were kids clearly younger than the girl who came forth with trembling eyes only made me feel more complicated.

She must have come forth as their representative.

I silently observed the girl, whose fearful eyes contrasted her calm facade. I sharply glared at the door when I heard it suddenly open.

Ah, ah Lord Frey.

Hey, Lulu. Come on over.

After beckoning Lulu to come sit by my side with a smile, I gave an order to the girls who looked absent-minded.

Starting now, try servicing me the way you have your previous owners.

Yes.

They answered as if they were waiting for my order and began stripping.

Thats enough. Not typical, boring stuff like that. I want something different and new.

I stopped them after being taken-aback by their actions, but the girls only stared at each other and spoke up with a trembling voice.

I-If you want, you can hit me

Ill do whatever you desire, so please just dont kill me I want to live

I could only stare at them with complicated feelings as they made their earnest pleas. I turned to question Lulu, who was seated beside me with a pale face.

Lulu, where did you go earlier?

T-The r-r-r-restroom

Seeing her reply with a stutter, I gently stroked her head and asked again.

Why the restroom?

T-Thats my stomach was feeling queasy

Was it because of the spectacle you bore witness to?

In an instant, Lulu produced a myriad of expressions when she heard my question.

I let out a sigh as I read her expressions, then turned my gaze towards the other girls.

Do you all have families?

After a brief moment of silence, I questioned them in the hopes that they would respond positively. Unfortunately, all the girls shook their heads in denial.

How many meals do you usually eat per day?

One.

Only when my owner permits.

Once every three days.

When I discovered the reason why they were all on the brink of fainting prior, I stood with a frown on my face.

P-Please dont kill me.

Im sorry, please forgive me.

Be quiet. Im going out for a moment, so play with Lulu.

After frigidly ordering the girls who were begging in fear again, I left the room with a sigh.

Sigh, theyre carelessly partying while drinking again.

I mumbled with a scowl when I entered the adjacent room and noticed the bastards I had kicked out earlier casually drinking and playing.

Everyone, stop and pay attention.

I stopped scowling and donned an arrogant look on my face as I slammed my hands on the desk.

Mm Lord Frey? Did you finish your date with the Imperial Princesses?

Who was better? According to the rumors, the First Imperial Princess is said to be very

Puhup Lord Frey probably performed the best.

The drunken bastards started spewing bull** when I demanded their attention.

Itll only be all of you who have anything to lose if you dont get your ** together and listen to me.

After warning them with a smirk, they all ceased their joking and focused on my words.

Ill be direct. Sell me all of your pets.

What!?

After hearing my shocking demand, the greedy bastards began speaking again with a troubled expression.

W-What do you mean suddenly demanding us to sell our pets?

Theyre of the highest quality, lacking any families or thoughts on disobeying us It would take several years to get our hands on them again.

Silence.

After ending their complaints with my hand, I lifted the corners of my lips and offered them a deal that they wouldnt be able to refuse.

In exchange, Ill provide you information on the Demon Kings Army.

When I stated my offer, the bastards all froze before stammering.

D-Do Do you mean that, Lord Frey?

Yes, Im serious. Its also why I came to meet you guys today.

Their eyes sparkled as they glanced at one another after I affirmed my offer.

How laughable.

I sighed inwardly while watching these fools. These names were all on the list of nobles whove requested to secretly meet with the Demon Kings Army at the previous meeting with the Demon Kings Executives.

It was clear they were planning on selling out their families and defecting to the Demon Kings Army. I simply provided some bait and as expected, they took the bait immediately.

Ill also offer the sex slaves in my basement as service. How about it? Isnt this quite the good deal?

I crossed my legs and offered more bait, and the aristocrats began to look dumbfounded.

Uh Lord Frey, arent these conditions a bit too much in our favor in exchange for mere pets?

Seeing as how everyone started staring at the man who seemed to question me carefully, they must be worried I might retract my offer.

Relax, its fine. I wasnt trying to make a profit from this.

I continued with a smile as they tilted their heads.

Its just, I wanted to say were now on the same boat.

When I raised my glass after expressing my intent, these bastards raised theirs in a toast and began noisily chattering away.

Though its a sinking boat.

The sex slaves theyre receiving from me are, in fact, succubi from the Demon Kings army. In a few months time, all their energy will have been drained and the role of master and slave will be reversed.

When that time arrives, Ill use these bastards that have completely surrendered themselves to the succubi as planned. Ill have them face the consequences for all the heinous deeds they have performed.

In other words, their fates have been sealed with this deal.

Lord Frey! Please receive a glass!

Please accept a drink from me first!

Nono, start with the penalty shot!

As I observed the drunken aristocrat teeter his way over to pour me a drink, I thought about the other corrupted force.

After this main scenario, I should also steadily bring down the Church.

There are still many things to do in order to cleanse this rotten empire.

.

.

.

Uuu Why am I suddenly like this

While Frey was receiving drinks from the aristocrats with a content smile, Roswyn staggered out of the restroom with an exhausted face.

I swear nothing good ever comes from getting involved with that loser of a bastard Aeuugh

The pain in her stomach reignited for no reason right as she swore at Frey. Although she tried to return to the restroom with a tear ridden face

Guuul!!

Hiek!

An owl appeared out of nowhere and began assaulting her head with its wings. She dropped to the ground while in a state of shock.

Stop it! I said sto huh?

As Roswyn tried to defend herself from the owl unsuccessfully, she noticed someone approaching her from the distance.

Y-You why are you already he

Oh my, Roswyn

Roswyns face became deathly pale as the person spoke.

Seems like you grew up a lot?

When the approaching girl eventually closed the distance between them nonchalantly and whispered in a chilling voice, Roswyn choked up in fear and began hiccupping.

.Hic.

Serena, the person Roswyn despised the most in the world, was looking down at her with an icy gaze while chuckling.
